With straightforward coverage of imaging principles, Fauber’s Radiographic Imaging and Exposure, 6th Edition, describes exposure techniques and how to acquire, process, and display digital images. Not only does this book help reduce the need for repeat images, but it also includes problem-solving strategies for clinical practice. With a new chapter on imaging fundamentals and new content on imaging pathology, this edition also prepares students with the essential knowledge needed to pass the ARRT initial certification exam!
-
- NEW! Chapter on Fundamentals of Radiation Production includes the x-ray circuitry to enhance students’ understanding and comprehension of x-ray production.
- NEW! Content on imaging pathology includes the five radiographic substances and how they relate to differential absorption and image quality.
- NEW! Content on exposure technique selection helps improve visualization of soft tissue opacities.
- Content reflects the newest curriculum standards outlined by the ASRT and provides everything students need to prepare for the ARRT certification exam and for clinical success.
- Straightforward focus on imaging and exposure provides the knowledge students need to become competent radiographers.
- Thorough digital radiography coverage explains how to acquire, process, and display digital images, along with important aspects of health information management.
- Concise, easy-to-understand writing style makes the content easily accessible.
- Patient Protection Alerts highlight the variables that impact patient exposure and how radiographers can control them.
- Important Relationships summarize the connections between radiographic concepts, calling attention to how they relate to one another.
